Teachers committed to enforce the SWM curriculum pursuant to the educational component of the SWM ordinance passed by then Councilor Jehanne Mutin in 2007 . Fines would also be considered against students throwing litter away irresponsibly . This Ramadhan is also a fitting time to prepare as salih and saliha to bear responsibllity for the trust/amanah given to natural habitat. Toxic chemicals emit from the trash thus the majority sector the youth should lead being the majority consumers of food and products. Lake Lanaos Agus rivers have also been site of throwing trash thereby affecting the fish that feed the people of Lanao. Endemic species once filled Lake Lanao decades ago , today there are only a few kinds of fish found in the largest freshwater lake.
